Identify yourself—either from the pick list or by manual entry.

Fill out the Data Product Registration and Submission form as completely and accurately as possible. Nobody is better equipped or suited to describe a data submission than the scientist who created it. The Data Product Registration and Submission form allows PIs to attach files, including data files, additional documentation files (e.g., readme files), technical reports, and pertinent science articles. Scientists are encouraged to provide these additional materials.

Submit the Data Product Registration and Submission form. Once you have completed and submitted the form, and all mandatory fields are verified, you will receive notification to confirm successful submission.

The system will then guide you to upload your data and ancillary information using an ARM file transfer protocol (FTP) data upload feature.
